    Lars Sullivan's under fire for many old comments

    A Reddit user posted a list of Lars Sullivan's posts on an old bodybuilding forum, and it's really not good.

    The comments can be found here:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...d_screenshots/

    Racism. Homophobia. Downplaying mental illness and rape. This is really not a good look for Sullivan or WWE.

    Big E commented on Sullivan's posts on Twitter:

    Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a bigot & working in a company that is now filled with minorities.
    Lars needs to be fired today. This type of thinking and behavior shouldn't be tolerated.

    I am one of the biggest bleeding heart liberals I know. Go socialism! Anyway, I'm kind of tired of this witch hunt culture where you can go back and dig up comments people made in their teens and early 20s and nail them to a cross for it. Does Lars still believe these things? I can't say, but anytime these things pop up its instantly to "well let's ruin this person's entire life."

    If Lars made those comments today, then fuck him without question. A lot of people say stupid and offensive shit in their teens and early 20s though because most people in that age range are stupid. This new mentality doesn't allow people to grow. It just labels them as something based off a single comment from period that was years ago. Maybe he is still a shit bag, maybe he has changed, but this mob justice mentality isn't ever going to let people find out.

    I didn't like him to begin with and this just adds more fuel to the fire.

    Pretty much this. If he said these things now or still agrees with them fuck him. However if these were just the ramblings of an immature/uninformed young man and he's sorry for them water under the bridge I say. We've all said or done stupid shit in our youth (and if you say you didn't you're lying) But most of us mature and disassociate ourselves from what we've done previously.

    Interestingly many people were up in arms about James Gunn being fired from Marvel for years old tweets about jokes about paedophilia etc because they were years old and he apologised. If Lars apologises/no longer holds these views why shouldn't he be given a second chance?

    Seems people are forgiving depending on the person. And I find that says more about society than anything else.

    I agree people can change, and everyone deserves a second chance. However some of Sullivan's recently deleted tweets from just a couple of weeks ago suggest he maybe hasn't changed.

    Hello easily triggered WWE universe! What are you fake outraged by today?

    William Christensen here with another update on Lars! Lars would like to convey to the public that he finds great pleasure and humor in upsetting the WWE Universe. His only complaint is that it's too easy to do so! His quote after both Monday and Tuesday night, "lol".
    This could've been an attempt to get heat, but it's definitely not how he should've responded to all of this coming out.

    Some people are just shit bags who like to troll people to elicit a response. Making someone mad is deemed chuckle worthy for them. Again, I'm not sure if Lars is actually a racist/homophobic/sexist or he just said some stupid stuff and has changed but I'm not ready to drag him through the streets yet.

    This basically sums ul my thoughts on the matter right here.

    I agree. Condemning people for things they said early in life, without knowing whether they still believe them, is a little unfair. People do and say stupid things when they are young and society has to be able to understand that.

    With that said, I have no idea when these comments were posted and, quite frankly, I'm not even sure of the specific comments. But I certainly think it would be in this person's interest to apologize profusely to his coworkers or he probably won't have a job long.
